The Pocomoke City Record and Gazette
says the people of Chincoteague Island
are much exercised over the report that q
colored man accused of numbering his
wife and three children had fled TO the
island to escape prosecution. tits thought
he has been seen several times on the
island.
A new cornet band has been organized

unsteady inclined, and no doubt there
will soon be plenty of music in the air..

The President has set all uncertainty at
rest by afixing his signature to the inter
state commerce bill, making it the law of
the land. The practical operations of the
new law will now afford an interesting
subject of study. It would neither be
fair to expect too much from it on the
one hand, nor to be too hasty to condemn
its iniperfections on the other. A measure
coming before the people with the sane
ton of SO overwhelming a majority of the
men whom they have chosen to speak and
legislate for the whole nation and with
the endorsement of chief executive con-
spicuous for integrity and bipartisan in
terest in the public welfare-and who has
backbone enough to do, in the face of any
conceivable pressure, just what he thinks
is most nearly right and proper-deserves
this much consideration at least, even
from its enemies. Let the new law be
given fair trial.

Wilmington, THURSDAY. Feb 10. 1887

The United States department Of agri-
culture has issued in pamphlet form a
record of the experiments at Fort Scott,
Kansas, last year, in the manufacture Of
sugar from sorghum and sugar-canes by
the processes of carbonatation and satura-
ton, in which experiments apparatus
manufactured, supplied, transported, set
mp in place and put in operation by the
Pussy q Jones Company of this city was
used. The experiments and accessories
incidental thereto are described in detail,
with oopious analyses of materials and
products. Those with sorghum cane did
not prove satisfactory, but there was
abundant reason for this in the nature Of
the cane operated on, as set forth in the
report in the unmistakably strong Ian
guage "No known process, save an act
of creation, could have made sugar out Of
such material" But the sorghum cane ia
saved from utter condemnation by the
statement, further on, that " the fact that
sorghum, in certain circumstances, be-
comes tine-sugar producing plant has
been incontestably established"
The experiments with Louisiana sugar.
cane were much more satisfactory in
fact of very encouraging character. The
report says that the results show Sin the
most convincing manner that by the pro.
cess Of diffusion and carbonatation the
yistdFof sugar from suRar-cane can be in
creased fully so per cent over the best
milling and subsequent treatment of the
juice which have ever been practised il
this or in any other country" and thai
'if this be true of the best milling, it il
easy to estimate the increase over tn,
average milling of Louisiana" which il
placed at fully 40 per cent and the repor
goes on to make the very practical appli
cation; "Since complete carbonatatiol
outfit can be erected for about "a, 900 i
would be well If some planter or syndicat
of planters should give the process
